Well.

This is just something to take my mind off other stories on different sites. I'm gonna wing it and make it up as I go along. Oh, and, since the war hasn't ended yet, Neji is still alive in this fan fiction, for now.

Summary: What if Boruto was conceived during the Fourth Great Ninja War and not after? How would things be different for Naruto and Hinata, if they were still only young teens and just barely starting their relationship? And how would this effect the future, if Boruto came before his time? NaruHina

Hinata gripped the ends of the exam table tightly, anxious for her test results. Her heart was pounding in her chest as her eyes darted around the sterile white hospital room in Suna.

It was her first solo mission since the Pein attack and she felt great about it. It was good to be back on the active duty roster, she just wished she didn't feel so sick.

She couldn't eat properly, always throwing up her breakfast, and her fatigue and dizziness were concerning. Even after activating her Byakugan for a short amount of time, she'd feel so drained and tired she'd have to stop and rest for fear of fainting. Thankfully, she hadn't met any bandits or enemy Shinobi, so combat wasn't an issue.

She made an emergency stop in Suna since it was on the way to Konoha and has since felt much better with a few IV fluids in her blood stream.

After a series of tests, Hinata was patiently waiting for her results. It seemed like an eternity before the med nin walked back into the room, results in hand.

Hinata eagerly looked at the nin and greeted her warmly. The ninja smiled brightly and handed the results to the young girl. "Congratulations, Miss Hyuga. You are 8 weeks pregnant."

Hinata's eyes went wide, resembling dinner plates. "P-Pregnant? A-are you sure?"

The ninja nodded. "Yes, our blood tests are 100% accurate. Your blood has high levels of hCG, just over the 25mIU/mL mark. These are the normal levels found in expectant mothers. You are indeed pregnant Miss Hyuga. However, the pregnancy is still very early. You will have a risk of miscarrying until about after the third month. In the first trimester it is important to not overexert yourself, take plenty of prenatal vitamins, and abstain from any drugs or alcohol. I suggest that you remove yourself from the active duty roster as well."

Hinata quietly thanked the ninja and after signing the discharge papers, robotically made her way back to her hotel.

Oh Kami what was she going to tell Naruto? They were in the middle of a WAR! This was no time to raise a child. She suddenly felt sick, but not because of the baby's doing. No, this sickness came from deep within her gut.

How could she be so irresponsible? The repercussions were...numerous! And oh Kami, what about her clan? They would surely disown her now.

Hinata ran over to a nearby bush and hunched over, throwing up what little bile was left in her stomach. She didn't know what to do, so she did the only thing she could do.

She cried.

-Flashback-

Hinata stood shyly on the sidelines as Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi returned through the Village Gates to a hero's welcome. Dozens and dozens of villagers swarmed around Naruto, hailing him a hero.

Hinata stared longingly at him, admiring his sun swept blonde hair and brilliant blue eyes. His smile was infectious, stretching from ear to ear, and his whisker marks on his cheeks served as a reminder of just how heroic he was.

When Hinata had confessed to Naruto, she was prepared to die during the attack. She never expected to survive, and certainly hadn't thought about where to go from here, now that Naruto was aware of her feelings. Would he accept them? Would he reject them? Or maybe even ignore them completely?

Hinata couldn't bare the thought of loosing Naruto as a friend (at the very least) and she hoped and prayed that this didn't ruin their already minimal interactions. Would he be awkward around her? I mean, what was he going to say? "Hey Hinata, I'm glad you were willing to die for me and all, but I just don't feel for you that way." Could she even handle humiliation of that level?

But, she supposed right now that it didn't matter.

The Pein invasion was over and surely the celebrations would be underway in a matter of hours. Naruto was again swept away within the masses, basking in the praise, respect, and attention he had desired and craved for so long. Despite all her insecurities, Hinata smiled and watched the love of her life be carried down the streets of Konoha.

Yes, it was a hero's welcome indeed.

-Flashback End-

Hinata stared at her hotel rooms ceiling fan, listening as the blades spun round and round creating a small buzz. She was lying on her bed, a hand draped over her bare stomach and an arm draped over her eyes.

Pregnant.

She couldn't believe it. The idea was so foreign, so far away from her mind, she couldn't even begin to process and fathom it. A life was growing inside of her. A little ball of chakra was quietly blazing inside a tiny human being in her womb. This baby was equal parts her and Naruto. It was amazing and terrifying at the same time.

Hinata wondered what Naruto would think. They'd lost their virginity together on the third date and that was only because alcohol was involved (even though Hinata would have done so without the liquid courage). They had only just barely gotten to know each other and even though the war was still going on, Naruto's confession had set things in motion. He had said that, while he didn't love her, he did like her quite a bit and wanted the chance to get to know her more so that eventually he could fall in love with her. He didn't know what it meant to love someone, but was more than willing to find out.

Now she was pregnant? They couldn't handle it. Surely, this would drive Naruto away for good. He wasn't even sure of his own love yet, considering he didn't really know what love was. He was fighting a war, he was essential to winning the war, and he was a hero. He couldn't, wouldn't have time to protect and take care of a baby.

They were only seventeen for kami's sake!

And Hinata, what about her? She was also a part of this war, she was a Kunoichi of Konoha, how was she going to protect a baby if she had to fight? The short answer was she wouldn't. She'd be forced into a safe zone with the civilians, a protocol for all expecting Kunoichi off the active duty roster.

Speaking of protection, it wasn't like they didn't use protection either.

Hinata had been on the pill since she was thirteen (a requirement for all active duty female ninja) and she never missed a dose. She couldn't even think of a time where she hadn't taken it. Her biggest fear was that she would be compromised on a mission before Naruto could compromise her first, so she was always prepared.

How in the world did this happen? I mean, sure Hinata knew that birth control was only so effective, but she always used it properly. She racked her mind for a time where this could have happened.

She felt like her head was going to burst until it hit her.

The party!

That had to be the answer. A few days after their second date, the night of their third date, Ino had gotten all of them piss drunk during the rebuild celebrations and drunken Naruto had practically dragged Hinata back to his apartment and had his way with her, which she reciprocated all night long.

She probably forgot to pop the pill then. They'd never thought to use condoms because she was on birth control; but if you miss even one pill it can leave you vulnerable.

She let out an audible groan. 'Stupid stupid stupid...how could you end up in this situation? You're weak. How can you be a mother if you were so irresponsible in the first place?' those toxic thoughts began to invade her mind and she quickly shoved them away.

She needed to get back to Konoha and inform Tsunade as soon as possible. Hinata knew she should tell Naruto first, but he had a war to fight. It could...wait...at least until Naruto returned from his own mission with his team in a few months. She wouldn't dare to share the news via messenger hawk.

Naruto's enemies were powerful.

-Flashback-

Their first date at Ichiraku had been inexperienced and awkward.

Naruto fumbled his conversational topics, turning red every five seconds when he'd make another blunder. Hinata was no better, her face red as a cherry tomato. She had always been content to just listen to Naruto talk, she never expected to really hold up much of the conversation.

"Well Naruto-kun, I...I like cinnamon rolls, flower pressing, and gardening. I also like to cook and will make you whatever dishes you want from now on! And despite what everyone thinks, I actually have a fire/lightning affinity, much like Sasuke-san."

Naruto grew excited at the prospect. "You do? I like to garden too! Hinata-chan, I don't doubt that whatever food you cook will be good. Also, that really is surprising. You're so calm and fluid, like water, but who'd have thought you could wield something as cool as lightning! I'm a wind affinity, but, you already knew that I guess huh 'ttaebayo!"

Hinata giggled, enjoying the attention of her love.

Even though things were still a little awkward and they'd blush when their shoulders or arms brushed together by accident as they ate, it was still the perfect date in Hinata's book. It was exactly how she'd always imagined it would be.

Hopefully, her goodnight kiss would be just like she'd fantasized about, too. Blushing at the thought of just how heated her fantasies had gotten, she quickly banished those perverted thoughts.

This was their first date for crying out loud! She was not such a lowly woman to go in for the kill right away...

No...she wouldn't jump his bones until the third date.

- Flashback End -

Tsunade rubbed her temples, a cup of sake sat untouched upon her desk. She couldn't believe that Hinata out of all her ninja...it was just too much.

This wasn't just a normal teenage pregnancy, no, this was a teenage pregnancy between the Hyuga princess and Uzumaki Naruto, son of the fourth Hokage and war hero. If enemies had ever managed to get their hands on this valuable information, it could be deadly.

"As your Hokage speaking, Hinata, this is going to be...difficult. This is only the beginning of the many dangers and hurdles that lie ahead of you. Naruto, while he is a hero, has also made a lot of enemies. You are carrying his child, which puts you and the baby in great danger already, should news of it leak out. We are still fighting a war and things are only going to get more dire from here on out. As per protocol, I have to pull you from active duty and inform your father of your condition as you are not eighteen yet. However, I care for you as one of my own, so I'm going to allow you to tell him instead. If, after one month, you have not told him why I've pulled you from active duty then my hand will be forced. Are we clear?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama. I-I know that I've put everyone in a difficult position." Tsunade waved her hand.

"Now, now none of that. Naruto is just as much to blame as you are. It take two people to make a baby. Hinata, speaking as a motherly figure, I can imagine how scared, confused, and alone you feel right now. Naruto won't be back for at least two more months and the thought of not having the help is scary, right? I'm going to allow you to stay in Naruto's apartment. I will cover for you with your father, so he won't suspect anything. However, I can only do so for one month, as stated before. You're like one of my own, I'll be here to support you any way I can."

Hinata could feel the tears well up in her eyes. She practically tackled the Hokage, audibly sobbing. She didn't have a mother for most of her childhood, so her heart felt full and happy. Yet scarred and pained at the same time.

"I'm..so scared, Hokage-Sama. What if...what if Naruto doesn't w-want the baby? Or what if I miscarry? The doctor in Suna said that I have higher chances of miscarrying until after the first trimester. How can I live with myself if...if I lost Naruto's child and he didn't even know about it? He's always wanted a family after all. I know this was supposed to come much, much later...and we were supposed to do the whole marriage thing first, but it's here and happening now and I don't know what to do."

Tsunade rubbed soothing circles along her young ninja's back. "You have a great support system here, Hinata. We won't let you or Naruto go through this alone. Please, take the rest of your day to calm down, breathe for the baby, and curl up under Naruto's bed sheets, okay? You can worry more tomorrow. You're exhausted."

"Hai, Hokage-Sama! And thank you, for everything. I don't know how we're going to survive this, but I know we will. We never give up, it's our nindo, our ninja way."

And with that Hinata left the office, calmer than she'd felt in the last two days. She absentmindedly brought a hand to her stomach, resting it there.

A baby, huh?

'This baby is Naruto's baby. I can't believe it. I'm carrying Naruto-kun's child! Me. It's scary and yet, I'm so happy. I can feel it in my very soul. My heart is so full...'

Boom! Chapter 1. Whew what a start. Dramama ramama ramama hey! lol
